Archers press X for indirect fire WITH A POLL BECAUSE DEMOCRACY = GAME BALANCE

[Adamar]

Meh, I was thinking that the x function could be used to change arrow types instead.

[Overdriven]

That would also be cool. But no idea if possible.

Like whistling arrows for example? For alerting allies etc.

But that could be pretty annoying since every archer would do it constantly, or if you only gave every archer one whistling arrow. Alternatively only to archers who are lvl 31.

Whichever the case, I think I prefer an indirect firing mode over toggled arrow types.

I think he means different types of arrows, like Arrow,Barbed Arrow, Tatar Arrow and Bodkin Arrow.

[Arrowblood]

I want arrowclouds like at agincourt.

[Bobthehero]

So basically, arrow everywhere killing everything? I want plate that's arrow proof, you can kill the unarmored peasants.

[Spawny]

Epic idea. Completely support it, eventhough I hate archers.

Would make groups of archers quite usefull in strat and siege games.

I used to curve throwing weapons over teammates into the enemy line and it would make sense if archers could do the same.

I think that due to the game mechanics, the arrows will do minimum damage on impact anyway.

YESSSSS.

+1 xinfinity

This idea has been at the back of my mind for ages every time I play on my dirty archer alt watch other archers very closely. I'd love this for archers, since opening the round with a horizontal-ish arrow round has always struck me with a bit of dissonance.

shameless self bump

[FRANK_THE_TANK]

+1 at the moment the Yumi is the only thing you can really use for indirect and its a bit of a mission.

All we need now is a flaming arrow so you can track it a bit better and light up the night.

Re do this thread with a poll.

[Renten]

Only if you can block high enough with a shield to prevent impossible to avoid head-shots while blocking.

[Soldier_of_God]

i dont see how this can possibly be a negative thing. the only thing i have to add is that less power would be used launching an arrow at closer range, therefore short and medium ranged shots should have damage deduction in the ballpark of -2 damage per range ajustment, with long range being the same.

you also must realize that arrows launched high in the air are alot less accurate than arrows fired strait because they change trajectory and have alot more air time for wind deviation... which does not exist, but either way, it will be like trying to hit something half way across the map. this would be excellent, however, for large crowds.

Bump for buttocks

[Tears of Destiny]

In my experience, an indirect pointing up with 156 wpf and a mw rus will produce a shot pattern after 30 arrows of about 4 meters deep and 5 meters across. Shave off a meter to find the closely clustered majority not counting straglers.

[Tristan_of_Erzoth]

Why X? X is my kick button. or maybe add an option to change the key for it.
